Was at Rockefeller Center being super touristy and got hungry, so I checked their dining options in their building and saw that there was a sandwich shop by Tom Colicchio (sp). I used to watch Top Chef so that makes me an expert at his food.
Since the building is quite large, it took me a few extra minutes to find the spot. Mostly a work crowd mixed in with us tourists.
We decided to try the grilled chicken sandwich and the steak sandwich. Both were equally as good, nicely toasted bread, good amount of meat and perfect for a "gourmet" sandwich. Steak sandwich had grilled green onions so hope you like green onions. Didn't seem too fancy but it was pretty good and hit the spot.
Staff was quick in taking orders, making the food and bringing it to you. Pricing was fine as well, glad I stopped by.
It was so sweet of the staff to make the extra effort to make me a steak sandwich without scallions, I was touched. And when the cashier forgot to ring up my tomato soup, they brought me one free of charge, also very sweet. Service is definitely a priority here, which I appreciate considering it's in Rockefeller, which is highly touristy. Loved my steak sandwich…a perfect tasty bite. Only minor criticism is that the tomato soup was lukewarm. If you're in the area and looking for a quick bite away from the maddening crowds, 'wichcraft will hit the spot.
For $10 I was expecting a fabulous sandwich. Instead I got something my hippy aunt would make.
The Chicken sandwich tasted good, nice meat, good veggies, but the multigrain bread was hard as a rock and the sandwich itself was tiny. No sides. Fast service, but I should have recognized that no line in NYC is not a good sign…..ever.
I'll go elsewhere for my lunchtime stop.
3.2 stars.
I had the pole caught tuna since I love tuna. You can never go wrong with tuna, but still, somehow this sandwich was very underwhelming. :/
However, the heritage smoked ham panini on cranberry pecan bread was quite unforgettable. If anything, get a panini if you come here.
Only thing I've gotten here is a grilled cheese (free from postmates…)
It was the most depressing grilled cheese I've ever had.. just look at the picture… I think my biggest complaint is that the bread wasn't even the right type.
There's hundreds of better grilled cheese places in NYC. You're on Yelp. You should know better.
Should have known when it was the only place without a line in all of Rockefeller plaza at lunch time that there was a reason. That reason is the sub-par sandwiches and lackluster sides.
Service was prompt and friendly, and it was nice and cool and easy to find a seat- but that was hands down the best part of the meal.
As others have said, it was a sad little grilled cheese, the PBJ needed more PB and J, and the roasted chicken sandwich was a funky mess. I even hated the potato salad (though hubs was happy to finish it for me).
The lemonade was too sour (no sweetness at all), and the ciabatta rolls were dry and tasteless. The only thing I liked at all was the tomato soup (and even that was far from the best I've ever had). Glad we tried it, surely won't be back.
Great place to pick up a sandwich on the run. Quick and easy for anyone who works around the Rock. Doesn't get crowded, which is a plus.
The studio for Saturday Night Live is above… so as an added plus, ya might see some celebs here or nearby in the food court area. Great people-watching here in general.
I love Tom Colicchio from Top Chef. And I've never actually been to any of his restaurants. While he has his high end fancy restaurants, I'm glad for the more affordable options like this sandwich place. It's nice to think that Chef Tom had something to do with coming up with these unique sandwich creations. After literally looking at the menu for like 5 minutes – so many options and they all looked delish – I settled on the heritage smoked ham sandwich. I think the cranberry pecan bread was the thing that sold me. I think I gravitate toward fruit in foods. Haha. Anyways the sandwich also came with ham, pears (more fruit!), cheddar and mustard. Mmmm. It was supposed to be toasted and I found it only slightly slow. I wish it was more toasted and therefore hotter in temperature. But the combo of everything really went well together. It's a very filling – a little bit bigger than regular sandwich bread and there are a few layers of ham. I would come back and try their other creations but maybe I'll save up to go to one of his fancier restaurants too.
